Over the course of solely a decade, Tatte Bakery & Café has grown from a home kitchen operation into a favorite purveyor of pâtisserie in Boston, Massachusetts.
Tatte Bakery & Café is a micro-empire with 11 outposts snaking all by the Bigger Boston area of Massachusetts. It’s city’s fastest-growing bakery and café—and for good motive. Take, as an illustration, Tatte’s (pronounced like latte) Harvard Sq. retailer on the coronary coronary heart of Cambridge, what founder Tzurit Or refers to as “the entire Tatte experience.”
On the first diploma (it’s an enormous, sprawling location), prospects shuffle all through a graphic flooring adorned with hexagonal tiles of white, black, and gray. White subway tiles line the partitions, and the espresso bar and tables are topped with white marble. It’s a transparent, well-lit space, the prime backdrop for aesthetically pleasing, Instagram-perfect photos. Behind the till, busy bakers mix batter and knead dough amongst velocity racks crammed with cooling breads and pastries. All through the school 12 months, as Cambridge erupts proper right into a jostling college metropolis, the second flooring is filled with caffeinated school college students unfold out at neighborhood tables with homework, cafés au lait, and empty plates scattered with the crumbs of just-devoured muffins and toasty paninis. The great and comfortable scent of freshly baked bread is a seamless reminder that each one of Tatte’s tangy sourdough, rustic French baguettes, and tender challah pour out of this signature location.
Such is the romantic ambiance Tzurit has created with Tatte. And we haven’t even gotten to the world-class pastry she’s churning out. A self-taught baker, Tzurit delivers a number of the versatile, inventive bakery menus in Boston. The breadth of her baking is conscious of no limits. She rocks out on the whole thing from one of the best of baked gadgets to basically essentially the most superior sorts of pâtisserie (assume decadent poached pear tarts and Belgian chocolate mousse muffins). Don’t miss the Chocolate Rose. It’s shaped like a morning bun, the within of which is laced with a scorching cocoa filling. Scale back into the tightly packed scroll, and admire the swirling chocolate inside.
